 rk.\n\nThe lecture\, which is free and open to the public\, will be follow

 b Professor of Philosophy and Politics at the New School for Social Resear
 ch in New York. She also holds an international research chair in “Global

 uc Boltanski (2014)\; Transnationalizing the Public Sphere: Nancy Fraser d

 s: Critical Reflections on the 'Postsocialist' Condition (1997)\; and Unru
 ly Practices: Power\, Discourse\, and Gender in Contemporary Social Theory
  (1989). Her current research centers on the themes of crisis\, critique a
 nd capitalism.\n\nAbstract\n\nMany observers posit that we are living thro
 ugh a “crisis of democracy.” But what exactly is in crisis here? Are our c
 urrent care deficits rooted primarily in an “imbalance of family and work\
 ,” and can they be solved by reforming the latter? Or are we facing a broa
 der\, more far-reaching crisis\, of which the “crisis of care” constitutes
  but one strand\, inextricably interwoven with others? And in that case\, 
 what is the true object of the crisis\, and what are its deep-structural s
 ources?\n\nI argue that our present dysfunctions of care are best understo
 od as expressions\, under historically specific contemporary conditions\, 
 of a general tendency to social-reproductive crisis that is intrinsic to c
 apitalist societies. I elaborate this thesis in three steps. First\, I pro
 pose a general account of “the social-reproductive contradiction of capita
 lism” as such\, without reference to any particular historical form. Then\
 , I sketch the unfolding of this contradiction in two previous historical 
 forms of capitalist society: the liberal competitive capitalism of the 19t
 h century\, and the state-managed form of the 20th. Finally\, I sketch an 
 account of our current crisis of care as the expressions of capitalism’s s
 ocial-reproductive contradiction in its present\, financialized phase.\n
